Hi DEV 👋, Peter here. Happy to be a part of the community. I work as a Technical Support Analyst as my day job and work on various side projects on the side. Part of what brings me to the dev community is to see what fun things people are working on, and get to know more people in the development space.

Fun facts:

• I'm a huge sports fan. I enjoy playing and watching rugby (watching: 7s, playing: 15s). Soccer wise, I'm an Arsenal fan (sadly). Basketball-wise, I'm a 76ers & Rockets fan

Some things I'm learning about

• JavaScript frameworks for frontend systems (looking at the pros & cons of each js library)
• scaling backend systems (in particular databases) and best practices when building storage solutions
• Stuff I'm learning out of curiosity: Redis, ElasticSearch, NoSQL, Microservices
• Current sources of information right now: web ( of course!!) and podcasts. Btw if you've got an interesting podcast you're listening to, feel free to drop a comment

Hi Shivani! Welcome to DEV :) What's most interesting to you in Data Science? It's such a big field! I've started learning more about it as well, but it seems like just such a big field to learn :)

I totally get what you mean about being overwhelmed! 4 PRs is a lot when you're not just looking for low hanging fruit.

Moving in the game dev direction sounds awesome! I've always wanted to write a story line for a game — I wonder if game creators are open to folks contributing storyline ideas over GitHub. 🤔

Anyway, best of luck to you in finding the right project to contribute to this Hacktoberfest!

Hello DEV!

My name is Georges, i am a front-end developer 🎨

I use React.js every day and i've been converted to typescript for some months now.
I like functional programming and i am eager to learn more about this paradigm.

Hi Georges! How are you finding typescript so far? I'm interested, but haven't fully bought in yet :)
